"Last year we thanked Ros Trulock for sewing all the felted squares, we have received, into blankets. She has done a wonderful job and for which we are very grateful. This is a photograph take some time ago of her sewing the beautiful squares sent by Cynthia and Tina last year and some of the blankets she has sewn. They look so warm and sturdy." (Taken from the Knit A Square ezine for Jan. 22, 2010)
Some of the squares I made are on the sewing in the left photo. Cynthia, also mentioned above, is my wonderful mother. Between the two of us, we have made enough squares to help keep quite a few children warm in South Africa. Knit A Square works with AIDS orphaned children in South Africa, their goal is to keep ALL of the orphaned children warm. Did you know that it gets down to below freezing in South Africa at night? Most of these children have to sleep outside! Please check out their link. Knitting is a hobby that I enjoy doing, and by making squares out of my leftover yarn is just a bonus for me. It makes more room on my shelves for new yarn!
